Weekend Recap

There is no weigh in in the title, since there was no weigh in on Monday.  Yes, I skipped it again.  I will start again next week.  I haven't been completely myself the past couple of days, but I am working on it.  Good thing we are all works in progress or I would be very worried about me.

My biggest accomplishment this weekend was an hour long workout on Saturday in the gym.  I did 35 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes on the treadmill.  All with the fabulous company of workout buddy and neighbor, Rebecca.

Rebecca, me, Roberta, Daniel
We had some friends over for dinner on Saturday night.  Doesn't Daniel look thrilled about girl's night?  We let him join us since we are so sweet.  I made my lightened version of linguini with clam sauce and a big salad.  Then we played Apples to Apples.

Ever played?  It's fun!
We of course had a cocktail (or two).


Aren't these cocktail napkins funny?

Thanks for the napkins, Aunt Boo!
Roberta ran the EP5K on Sunday morning that was happening in conjunction with the Houston Marathon and Half Marathon.  Way to go Roberta!!  And all the runners who ran on Sunday!

Both of the football teams I was rooting for lost on Sunday...that was kind of a bummer.  The Texans and the Packers both had great seasons...but it would have been fun to watch one of them continue.  Oh, well...next season.

The other bonus of this weekend is that it was a long weekend, at least for me.  The husband had to work so I had the day to myself.  I did a lot of evaluating and a little shopping.  I love Christmas money.

Kat Von D Sinner eyeshadow -  I like.
The rest of my purchases were house items...mostly Valentine themed for finishing my decorating for the month.  :)  Those will star in tomorrow's blog.

I hope you have a fabulous day!

Dinner Parties

Friend and workout buddy Rebecca had me, Daniel, Liz and Diaz over for dinner last night to break in her new plates.  It was a great time.

Rebecca made an awesome chicken and rice casserole with a blend of wild, red and white rice.  She also steamed green beans.  It was delicious.


Thanks, Rebecca for a great evening with great food and great company...and a little wine.  I would like to make this a regular occasion.  Do any of you have regular dinner parties?
